Jarrod worked on adjusting the loose hinge in our bathroom glass door and he installed a new glass panel for another bathroom. His work was pretty solid. Jarrod was very good and thorough in his follow-ups from the beginning to the end. He kept his time and his estimates were very close to the final amount. I would strongly recommend him. (In fact I have already given his contact to my friend who wanted some help.)

Plumber connected a new bathroom sink's drain line by removing old galvanized pipe and installing PVC pipe. Set the vanity cabinet to the wall and calked counter top. Very professional and timely. Service was great. I will be keeping their phone number for future services.

We hired Jason from Regulators Plumbing because he was reasonable in price, responsive, and knowledgeable. We relocated several pipes in our bathroom and he was able to complete the rough-in in a good amount of time. He was even willing to come and dig up our cement foundation floor with a jack hammer. He was able to work through problems and come up with a solution.
I think the most important thing for me was that he was responsive. Any time I texted, he responded in a very timely manner. If I said, OK we are ready to install the bathtub now--he had time for us by the next week. We will definitely be calling Jason for any future plumbing needs. thanks a lot

Dennis replaced the dead fan/light in the bathroom of our condo on QA. It's a rental for us now and we live out of state so finding someone to do this type of smaller project work is challenging, to find someone who does it well and to completion is more so.
Dennis ended up making 3 trips to complete the project including patching the hole when the new model ended up being 'just a little bit' smaller than the 1978 version that was replaced. He was friendly and communicative and worked directly with my tenants to scheudle times that worked for them. Thank you Dennis.

I had a complex remodel at a condo building in Seattle that required a lot of planning and a lot of consultation with this company. They were able to help me every step of the way and when we ran into unexpected structural issues they stayed on the job until the job was complete. I will most definitely be hiring them again for my next project. Plus their office staff are extremely helpful and flexible.

To say I was particular about the work was an understatement. Jorge and Diana went above and beyond to make sure we were completely satisfied with the final product. My bathroom looks amazing! Super happy with the results and would highly recommend.

My hardwoods are GORGEOUS. Bathroom tile was also done very well. We had some initial problem with a small section of tile but Bogden was very quick to come back and correct it.
I would recommend this company to anyone refinishing hardwoods or laying tile. Beautiful work.

Brandin was very responsive to our inquiry about a small full bathroom remodel. His quote was very reasonable and he was willing to work with us on our tight timeline. He did most of the work himself and put in long days to get it done in time. The bathroom looks great! He was awesome about communicating where he was at and helped us audible when our vanity didn't come with a faucet or drain. I would definitely use him for future jobs!

Cedo transformed our bathroom, gutting it down to the studs and replacing the small corner shower with a beautiful tiled tub/shower combo, vanity, toilet and lighting. His tile work is impeccable and he clearly takes a pride in his work, taking the time to make sure things are done right.He was very responsive via email and text and answered our many questions along the way.We love our new bathroom!!

Michael and sound pacific are the best! I'm a real estate investor and have used them for one of my most resent renovation project. The renovation was everything from floor to ceiling, bathroom to kitchen and they did a great job. Easy to communicate and great attention to details. Definite be using them again.

Will completed these projects for my parents house: new roof, kitchen and bathroom remodel, replaced the old windows, exterior paint, along with helping get in contacts with good plumbers and electricians. Overall, Will did a good job on finishing the work as contracted. The only issue I had was his project manager was a good salesperson but when it came to executing he was difficult to work with. However, Will came in after I complained and help get the project back in the right direction which is meeting the expectation I was sold on. The crew did an ok job cleaning up but there were a lot of small debris I had to vacuum/sweep after the work was done.

I had a great experience working with Vlad from Design Kitchen and Bath. He did a terrific job on my remodel - my bathroom looks so much more modern and I have a lot more space. He was great at communicating every step of the process. He made suggestions that improved the final product and was able to pick up all the materials at Home Depot (I don't have a car), which was a HUGE help. I would definitely use Design Kitchen and Bath for future remodel projects!

I hired Jesse to do a major kitchen remodel, bath, new doors and interior paint, plumbing, and electrical work. Jesse and his crew were very considerate and clean. Jesse explained to me things in easy-to-understand terms, and when he found potential problems with the house he explained what needed to be done to determine the best course of action. I chose Jesse out of 3 contractors that I interviewed as I found him easy to work with, thorough, and very reasonable with his prices. He gave me choices and called me to problem solve when necessary. I have owned several houses and worked with other contractors who try to to cut corners. Jesse does not do this. His work is superb and top notch! I would hire him again!

The salesman was very well informed, and the subcontractor arrived the next day and by the following evening my new heat exchanger was installed! They worked hard and fast and seemed to know what they were doing. I'd highly recommend Sears Home Improvements.

We were looking to have our master bathroom, guest bathroom and powder room updated. After finding this interesting product which looks so much like granite and travertine at a home show, we decided to ask for a quote from Designers Marble. After reviewing 3 different companies, we went with Designers Marble. (The cost was at least 1/2 of real stone. It looked so much better than the fiberglass material which is supposed to look like stone as well). We went to their showroom and picked out the cabinets and countertops. The owner came out before the project began to ensure all the plans were approved by us. The crew worked on the project as scheduled and were very friendly and asked us for our input throughout the projects. They were very conscientious of making sure they kept the project debris to a minimum and called us if they were running late. They also cleaned up before leaving for the evening. Additionally, the project manager/office administrator was very easy to work with and was very responsive. The communication with all of them allowed us to have a successful remodel of our bathrooms. The master bathroom is where the most effort and money was put in and it turned out great! It is beautiful! People are astonished the countertops and shower stall are not real natural stone. It is much easier to take care of than real stone and it looks amazing. We will definitely recommend Designers Marble to any of our friends looking to remodel their bathrooms for sure!

Q & A

Bathroom remodeling doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Before starting a bathroom remodel it’s crucial to know what you want and have a clear understanding of your maximum budget. If you’d love all marble fixtures but have $3,000 total, you will have to compromise. Being realistic about materials and money before you even contact a contractor will have you on the road to success. Here are some simple steps to follow in the planning stages of bathroom remodeling:

Calculate what you can realistically afford to spend on your bathroom remodel. Identify an “all in” price — meaning the absolute maximum you’re willing to pay, as well as what you’d prefer to spend.

Gather ideas from Pinterest about colors and finishes.

Research the costs of the materials and finishes you want and begin making choices about what is and isn’t possible to fit into your budget (once labor is included). If you’d like to stay under $10,000 total, but really love a $2,000 tub, plan to downgrade in other areas.

Request quotes from at least three reputable general contractors, share your vision and ideal materials, and work together from there.

If you’re stumped on how to plan a bathroom remodeling project, it pays to hire a designer. This is especially important if you’re changing your bathroom layout in any way. Designers create contractor-friendly drawings indicating exactly where each tile and fixture will be installed, down to the light switches. This investment might cost you $300-$500 but save you significant frustration and miscommunication, while ensuring you get precisely what you want.

If you’re going to do your own design, planning a bathroom remodeling project means being organized and planning ahead. Create a general outline of what you want and the budget you have. Identify the specific fixtures, tiles, paint and vanity you prefer. Get all this organized before requesting quotes from two to three reputable general contractors. Once you find the right pro, get a written contract outlining scope of work, materials that will be used, timeframe and payment schedule. Communicate clearly about when to order your materials so they are ready and waiting by the time the contractor gets the permits. Your job from here is to communicate clearly, pay the contractor as the work progresses, and enjoy your remodel when it’s done.

With proper planning and a good general contractor, your bathroom remodeling project doesn’t have to take forever. The construction phase of the project will always vary based on your scope of work, the square footage and the condition of your bathroom under the surface layer. Inevitably an 80-square-foot master bathroom with major changes will take longer than a 25-square-foot guest bath undergoing a minor renovation. For a smaller bathroom, a facelift — the industry term for sprucing up the surface layer (such as paint, vanity, tiles or light fixtures) but keeping the existing footprint of the space — may take five to eight working days, as long as there are no surprises like mold waiting when the old vanity comes out. A more complex bathroom remodel that revamps the shower area (customizing the plumbing, installing tile and changing the shower door), updates the flooring and cabinetry, and adds new paint and new lighting could take anywhere from one week to three weeks. A full bathroom remodel that guts the room, changing the footprint and moving the electrical wiring and plumbing lines, could take four to eight weeks or more. To keep your bathroom remodel on schedule, have your materials ordered and waiting, and don’t make any change orders once construction begins. Planning is key to keeping a bathroom remodel on schedule.

Nationally, the average cost of bathroom remodeling is $14,000. Bathroom remodels can vary widely, from standard makeovers to luxurious master bathroom revamps. The factors that affect your bathroom remodeling cost are the finishes you choose (marble tiles can cost 20 times as much as standard subway tiles), the square footage of the project, regional labor rates in your area and the scope of work. Changing the layout or size of the bathroom will also raise costs. Moving electrical wiring and plumbing lines will also dramatically increase costs, as you’ll need to hire plumbers and electricians to handle the work. What’s happening behind your walls and under your floor will also affect bathroom remodeling cost: Rot, damage or mold can lead to additional work and charges. Overall, bathroom remodeling may offer great return on investment and also improve your daily life. Here are some examples of average bathroom remodeling costs:

6-foot by 6-foot bathroom remodel: $3,500, including labor and materials.

Standard renovation: $6,500-$10,000. Price includes labor and materials the customer has purchased. Labor may include taking out the shower and shower pan, installing new shower pan and shower, and installing new door, new vanity, new mirror, new bathroom fan, and all new fixtures.

Price variation depends on the quality of the finishes.

10-foot by 6-foot bathroom remodel: $7,200, including labor and materials.

Mid-range renovation: $12,000-$15,000. Price includes labor and materials the customer has purchased.

The professional best equipped to handle bathroom remodeling is a general contractor. A general contractor is typically licensed by the state or region in which they work to carry out home remodeling projects. To receive licensing, they must generally demonstrate their knowledge of construction and building and safety codes. General contractors act as the organizer for the entire bathroom remodeling project, ensuring that each element (new tile, shower pan replacement, lighting installation, etc.) is completed at the appropriate time by the proper contractor. Before hiring a general contractor, it’s wise to do your research. In addition to getting several competitive bids, here are questions to ask:

May I see before-and-after photos of some of your recent bathroom remodels?

Will I need permits for this project? Do you apply for those?

May I see proof of insurance and licenses?

Can we have a written contract outlining scope of work, budget and timeline?
